    Is sportbook.com reliable?
    Does anyone know if sportbet.com is a reliable book? Do they pay customers on time, or do they scam people like betonline.com? Your responses would be appreciate. Thanks.

              They sent my check within 8 days of my request...that was after 6 days of the hassle of receiving all my personal info, Photo ID and utility bill...

              I have deposited my check and waiting to see if it clears or bounces...

              I posted a thread of my own below detailing my nearly daily updates from sportsbook.com

              If this check DOES NOT bounce I will give this book a solid B+. If the check bounces, I'll understand and rate sportsbook a C-.

                      they claimed I bonus scammed them because I had 3 accounts with them through their 100 sister sites ................, just a backdoor excuse to get out of a big chunk of change, they did settle with me though for a less amount which I had to risk it all to qualify for a payout , needless to say I didn't take home anything after all said and done.

                        Damn...18 K....I'm sorry to hear that.

                        Who do you play with now? Or has this experience soured you to the point where you don't gamble on the net at all?

                          Could you explain just a little more about what happened? Did you bet over the limit or anything like that?

                            Sportbook.com and its family routinely invent excuses to steal from winning players. Last time I checked, I think there were over $500k in stolen funds taken by Sportsbook.com.

                              I have no problems with them and would like to know the specifics. most of the time its someone doing something in the gray area. like betting games after they happen. Betting over the limits etc. They pay faster and have better odds then most that you have rated A.

                                The most recent fiasco was when they decided that betting correlated parlays is cheating. They went through 100's of accounts, and canceled winning parlays. If a player lost on correlated parlays, they were not refunded.

                                  I made deposits of approximately 10 K with 3 of their sister sites. One was sports.com another was sportsbook.com, and the last was linesmaker.com. I made deposits and took a bonus at all 3 sites and didn't really make too many withdraws besides two checks for 1,000 dollars each. But when I hit a big 18 K parlay with them. They then decided to use the bonus scam tactic against me to not pay me. A few weeks went by after complaining to them and making a case for myself I didn't do anything wrong they agreed to give me 2,400 of the money I won as a settlement and I took it like thinking this is the best chance for me getting any of my funds back, but they told me I had to roll it over 1x to qualify for a payout, which I then lost it and didn't receive a dime from them !

                                    no, this time of year, you would be an absolute moron to play at the greek. worst baseball lines of anyone in the business. other sports they are comparable, but they suck when it comes to bases. just my 2c.

                                    (sportsbook.com steals. dont fukk with them. if you live in the u.s., its 5dimes or matchbook imo)

                                      Thanks for your reply. Thanks for clearing this up somewhat. I feel like when playing with them you have to be very smart in what you are doing. I once made a bet at 2 of there sites and got an email telling me not to do it again. I don't do anything like that anymore and have not run into any issues with them. THere have been MANY times where I could have clicked the button and won money for games that were going on etc. Its just not worth it. Most of the time I feel like its the player doing something they shouldn't be and thats what happened. Not really clear what you were doing but if you hit a parlay doesn't seem like thats sharp money so maybe they did just steal from you. Sorry to hear this.
